Some service academies require that a student be nominated by an authorized official before he or she can be offered admission to the academy. Cooper is able to nominate students from the Fifth Congressional District (parts of Davidson, Wilson and Cheatham Counties).

Registration for the event opens at 9:30 a.m., and the program begins at 10. It will be held at the Nashville Public Library, 615 Church Street, Nashville.
